George and Suzie...Loo...Karen and Al...No problem!<br /><br />George and Suzie...Looking forward to Cape Breton. Hmm, will have to look that up, I like the idea of being absent for 2 years every 5 years.<br /><br />Kenny and Angela...Thanks!<br /><br />Bob...We agree with you. I will have to book an appointment for my yearly physical (which will actually be my 2 year physical)in the next month or so, so that can see the doctor when we get back in the Ottawa area in August/September. You have to book these things about 3 months ahead of time.<br /><br />Jim and Sandie...Anything the government does, doesn&#39;t make sense!<br /><br />Life&#39;s a Journey...You will have to go on the webpage for Albert&#39;s health insurance to find out what their rules are.<br /><br />Ray...We got your numbers in! Blogger has been having issues with the comments. If I use Internet Explorer, I keep coming up as anonymous as well. When I use Chrome I don&#39;t have that problem.<br /><br />Sue and Doug...Maybe it&#39;s because you generally have milder weather out there. Spring usually starts earlier so no need to be away as long. Just kidding, lol! It&#39;s national healthcare, but each province is different. They should make it uniform across Canada.<br /><br />Kevin, Ruth and WhiskeyKevin and Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-46765821593258024222011-06-02T21:58:59.604-04:002011-06-02T21:58:59.604-04:00we are from British Columbia and here it is 180 da...we are from British Columbia and here it is 180 days..so consider yourselves lucky!..212..pretty good!..I always thought it was because medical is only good for that long..and then there is the CPP and the good old tax man!Sue and Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11436889944386917688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-11930124467264313002011-06-02T17:43:56.955-04:002011-06-02T17:43:56.955-04:00PS, I am a follower and have had you on my favorit...PS, I am a follower and have had you on my favorites for about 2 years.<br />Thanks again, Ray 6433Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-65736712978838837342011-06-02T17:37:27.345-04:002011-06-02T17:37:27.345-04:00Kevin, I have tried to enter your contest numerous...Kevin, I have tried to enter your contest numerous times on the contest blog, but don&#39;t seem to be able, so thought I would try it here.<br />my number is 395803. <br />Thanks, Ray Warner, ray6433Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-24966285624513420232011-06-02T10:52:14.838-04:002011-06-02T10:52:14.838-04:00I would be curious to know more about the Alberta ...I would be curious to know more about the Alberta rules, any idea where I could find this information?<br /><br />I hate seeing the doctor. takes so long!!!Life's a Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441864113888457036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-49490031538526113272011-06-02T10:03:17.078-04:002011-06-02T10:03:17.078-04:00Thanks for explaining this.

Like you said, the Feds don&#39;t really communicate your comings and goings to the Provinces, and certainly not to OHIP (although I think they changed the name at some point, but I still call the capital of China &quot;Peking&quot;, not Beijing, or whatever) <br />Usually the problem lies in trying to get in to see the (Canadian) doctor if need be during the time that we&#39;re home. It was easier when he had a small practise, but now he&#39;s part of a larger group, and the nitwits at reception can barely pick up the phone, let alone understand that we&#39;re calling from Austria. My wife just makes sure she sees a doc here in Wienerland. Most of them speak passable English, which tends to be the biggest stumbling block. I chose not to be her constant interpreter when it comes to doctor visits.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-13516101033868348142011-06-02T07:31:36.158-04:002011-06-02T07:31:36.158-04:00Glad to hear the better half will be back home the...Glad to hear the better half will be back home they back on the road.Kenny And Angela's Adventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760482956166260722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-4472878405568620092011-06-02T07:14:23.917-04:002011-06-02T07:14:23.917-04:00Will be nice to have Ruth back home, on the road a...Will be nice to have Ruth back home, on the road and enjoying the awesome scenery of Cape Breton.<br /><br />Good article on Medical coverage, but I believe now with OHIP we can get an absence of up to two years every five years.George and Suzie Yateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-46539978435113434762011-06-02T06:57:56.350-04:002011-06-02T06:57:56.350-04:00Thanks for the explanation on the medical coverage...Thanks for the explanation on the medical coverage..I was curious about that too.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.com
